mailcap.getcaps() has a call to mailcap.listmailcapfiles(), which returns a list of all mailcap files found on the system. listmailcapfiles() first looks for the MAILCAPS environment variable. If it exists, it converts the string value into a list by splitting it on ":". This will not work on platforms that use other path separators, like Windows (";"). Attached are patches that use os.pathsep instead. For more information about the MAILCAPS variable, see Appendix A in RFC 1524 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1524.html).
